[MOON RIVER PLAYS]
[MOON RIVER PLAYS]
HEY!
HEY, BABY,
WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?
OH, HI.
[DOORBELL BUZZES]
[MUTTERING
IN JAPANESE]
YIEE!
[BUZZING]
AAH!
[BUZZ]
MISS GORIGHTLY!
SOMEDAY...
SOMEDAY!
MISS GORIGHTLY!
YOU TAKE OFF
FOR THE POWDER ROOM.
THAT'S THE LAST
I SEE YOU.
NOW, REALLY, HARRY...
HARRY WAS THE OTHER GUY.
I'M SID. SID ARBUCK.
YOU LIKE ME, REMEMBER?
MISS GORIGHTLY!
I PROTEST!
DARLING, I AM SORRY,
BUT I LOST MY KEY.
THAT WAS TWO WEEKS AGO.
YOU CANNOT GO ON
KEEP RINGING MY BELL.
YOU DISTURB ME.
YOU MUST HAVE
A KEY MADE!
IT DOES NO GOOD.
I LOSE THEM ALL.
COME ON, BABY.
YOU LIKE ME.
I WORSHIP YOU,
MR. ARBUCK.
GOOD NIGHT, MR. ARBUCK.
WAIT! WHAT IS THIS?
YOU LIKE ME.
I'M A LIKED GUY.
YOU LIKE ME, BABY.
I PICKED UP THE CHECK
FOR FIVE PEOPLE--
YOUR FRIENDS.
WHEN YOU ASKED FOR CHANGE
FOR THE POWDER ROOM,
I GIVE YOU A $50 BILL.
THAT GIVES ME
SOME RIGHTS.
IN 30 SECONDS, I GOING
TO CALL THE POLICE!
ALL THE TIME,
A DISTURBANCE!
I GET NO SLEEP!
I GOT TO GET MY REST!
I'M AN ARTIST!
I GOING TO CALL
VICE SQUAD ON YOU!
DON'T BE ANGRY,
DEAR MAN.
I WON'T DO IT AGAIN.
DON'T BE ANGRY,
AND I MIGHT LET YOU
TAKE THOSE PICTURES.
WHEN?
SOMETIME.
ANYTIME.
GOOD NIGHT.
[DOORBELL BUZZES]
[BUZZ]
[MEOW]
[MEOW]
[BUZZ]
[MEOW]
[BUZZ]
MMM.
[BUZZ]
[BUZZ]
[BUZZ]
I'M SORRY
TO BOTHER YOU,
BUT I COULDN'T GET THE
DOWNSTAIRS DOOR OPEN.
I GUESS THEY SENT ME
THE UPSTAIRS KEY.
I COULDN'T GET THE
DOWNSTAIRS DOOR OPEN.
I SAID, I GUESS
THEY SENT ME THE...
UH, UPSTAIRS KEY.
I COULDN'T GET THE
DOWNSTAIRS DOOR OPEN.
SORRY TO WAKE YOU.
THAT'S QUITE ALL RIGHT.
IT COULD HAPPEN
TO ANYONE.
QUITE FREQUENTLY DOES.
GOOD NIGHT.
I--I HATE TO, UH...
I HATE TO BOTHER YOU,
BUT IF I COULD ASK
ONE MORE FAVOR...
COULD I USE THE PHONE?
SURE.
WHY NOT?
THANK YOU.
WELL, THIS IS A...
NICE LITTLE PLACE
YOU'VE GOT HERE.
YOU JUST MOVED IN,
TOO, HUH?
NO. I'VE BEEN HERE
ABOUT A YEAR.
THE PHONE'S
OVER THERE.
WELL, IT WAS.
OH, I REMEMBER.
I STUCK IT
IN THE SUITCASE.
KIND OF MUFFLES
THE SOUND.
[CAT SCREECHES]
I'M...SORRY.
IS HE ALL RIGHT?
SURE. SURE, HE'S O.K.
AREN'T YOU, CAT?
POOR OLD CAT.
POOR SLOB.
POOR SLOB
WITHOUT A NAME.
I DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT
TO GIVE HIM ONE.
WE DON'T BELONG
TO EACH OTHER.
WE JUST
TOOK UP ONE DAY.
I DON'T WANT
TO OWN ANYTHING
UNTIL I FIND A PLACE WHERE
ME AND THINGS GO TOGETHER.
I'M NOT SURE
WHERE THAT IS,
BUT I KNOW
WHAT IT'S LIKE.
IT'S LIKE TIFFANY'S.
TIFFANY'S? YOU MEAN
THE JEWELRY STORE?
THAT'S RIGHT.
I'M CRAZY
ABOUT TIFFANY'S.
LISTEN.
YOU KNOW THOSE DAYS
WHEN YOU GET THE MEAN REDS?
THE MEAN REDS?
YOU MEAN,
LIKE THE BLUES?
THE BLUES ARE BECAUSE
YOU'RE GETTING FAT
OR IT'S BEEN
RAINING TOO LONG.
YOU'RE JUST SAD,
THAT'S ALL.
THE MEAN REDS
ARE HORRIBLE.
SUDDENLY
YOU'RE AFRAID,
AND YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT
YOU'RE AFRAID OF.
DON'T YOU EVER
GET THAT FEELING?
SURE.
WHEN I GET IT,
WHAT DOES ANY GOOD
IS TO JUMP INTO A CAB
AND GO TO TIFFANY'S.
CALMS ME DOWN
RIGHT AWAY.
THE QUIETNESS,
THE PROUD LOOK.
NOTHING VERY BAD COULD
HAPPEN TO YOU THERE.
IF I COULD FIND
A REAL-LIFE PLACE
THAT MADE ME FEEL
LIKE TIFFANY'S, THEN...
THEN I'D BUY
SOME FURNITURE
AND GIVE THE CAT
A NAME.
I'M SORRY.
YOU WANTED SOMETHING.
OH, THE TELEPHONE.
I'M SUPPOSED
TO MEET SOMEBODY.
ISN'T THIS 10:00
THURSDAY MORNING?
I JUST GOT OFF
A PLANE FROM ROME,
AND I'M
NOT TOO SURE.
THURSDAY...
IS THIS THURSDAY?
I THINK SO.
THURSDAY!
IT CAN'T BE!
IT'S TOO GRUESOME!
WELL, UH...
WHAT'S SO GRUESOME
ABOUT THURSDAY?
NOTHING, EXCEPT
I NEVER REMEMBER
WHEN IT'S COMING UP,
WEDNESDAYS I GENERALLY
JUST DON'T GO TO BED
BECAUSE I HAVE TO BE UP
TO CATCH THE 10:45.
THEY'RE SO PARTICULAR
ABOUT VISITING HOURS.
BE A DARLING AND LOOK
UNDER THE BED
FOR A PAIR
OF ALLIGATOR SHOES.
I'VE GOT TO DO SOMETHING
ABOUT THE WAY I LOOK.
A GIRL CAN'T GO TO SING SING
WITH A GREEN FACE.
SING SING?
I ALWAYS THOUGHT IT WAS
A RIDICULOUS NAME FOR A PRISON.
SING SING, I MEAN.
SOUNDS MORE LIKE
AN OPERA HOUSE.
BLACK, ALLIGATOR.
ALL THE VISITORS
MAKE AN EFFORT
TO LOOK THEIR BEST.
ACTUALLY,
IT'S VERY TOUCHING,
ALL THE WOMEN WEARING
THEIR PRETTIEST THINGS.
I LOVE THEM FOR IT,
AND I LOVE THE KIDS.
IT SHOULD BE SAD
SEEING KIDS THERE,
BUT IT ISN'T.
THEY HAVE RIBBONS
IN THEIR HAIR
AND LOTS OF SHINE
ON THEIR SHOES.
AS I UNDERSTAND IT,
WE'RE GETTING YOU READY TO
VISIT SOMEBODY AT SING SING.
YOU COULD ALWAYS TELL
WHAT KIND OF A PERSON
A MAN THINKS YOU ARE
BY THE EARRINGS
HE GIVES YOU.
I MUST SAY,
THE MIND REELS.
MAY I ASK WHOM?
WHOM I'M GOING
TO VISIT?
I GUESS THAT'S
WHAT I MEAN.
I DON'T KNOW THAT
I SHOULD DISCUSS IT.
HE NEVER
TOLD ME NOT TO.
CROSS YOUR HEART
AND KISS YOUR ELBOW.
I'LL TRY.
YOU PROBABLY
READ ABOUT HIM.
SALLY TOMATO.
SALLY TOMATO?
DON'T LOOK SO SHOCKED.
THEY COULDN'T PROVE
HE WAS IN THE MAFIA,
MUCH LESS HEAD OF IT.
THEY ONLY PROVED
HE CHEATED AT
HIS INCOME TAX.
ANYWAY, HE'S
A DARLING OLD MAN.
HE WASN'T MY LOVER
OR ANYTHING.
I NEVER KNEW HIM UNTIL
AFTER HE WAS IN PRISON.
I'VE GONE TO SEE HIM
EVERY THURSDAY
FOR SEVEN MONTHS.
I'D GO EVEN IF
HE DIDN'T PAY ME.
SHOES.
I COULD
ONLY FIND ONE.
HE PAYS YOU?
HIS LAWYER DOES,
IF HE IS A LAWYER,
WHICH I DOUBT.
HE DOESN'T HAVE
AN OFFICE,
ONLY
AN ANSWERING SERVICE.
HE ALWAYS WANTS TO MEET
AT HAMBURGER HEAVEN.
THERE YOU ARE,
YOU SNEAK.
THANK YOU.
YOU'RE WELCOME.
DRESS. DRESS.
HERE WE ARE.
BAG.
AND A HAT, TOO.
THERE WE ARE.
ANYWAY, ABOUT
SEVEN MONTHS AGO,
THIS SO-CALLED LAWYER,
MR. O'SHAUGHNESSY,
ASKED ME HOW
I'D LIKE TO CHEER UP
A LONELY OLD MAN
AND PICK UP
A HUNDRED A WEEK.
I TOLD HIM,
"LOOK, DARLING,
YOU'VE GOT THE WRONG
HOLLY GOLIGHTLY."
I DO AS WELL ON TRIPS
TO THE POWDER ROOM.
ANY GENTLEMAN
WILL GIVE A GIRL $50
FOR THE POWDER ROOM.
AND CAB FARE--
THAT'S ANOTHER 50.
THEN HE SAID HIS CLIENT
WAS SALLY TOMATO.
SALLY
HAD SEEN ME SOMEWHERE
AND HAD ADMIRED ME
A LA DISTANCE.
SO WOULDN'T
IT BE A GOOD DEED
TO VISIT HIM
ONCE A WEEK?
HOW COULD I SAY NO?
IT WAS WILDLY ROMANTIC.
HOW DO I LOOK?
VERY GOOD.
I MUST SAY I'M AMAZED.
I COULD NEVER HAVE
DONE IT WITHOUT YOU.
BAG.
CALL ME ANYTIME.
I'M JUST UPSTAIRS,
OR I WILL BE AS SOON
AS I GET MOVED IN.
BYE, CAT.
UH...
UH, YOU MEAN
HE GIVES YOU $100
FOR AN HOUR'S
CONVERSATION?
MR. O'SHAUGHNESSY DOES
WHEN I MEET HIM
AND GIVE HIM
THE WEATHER REPORT.
IT'S NONE
OF MY BUSINESS,
BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU
COULD GET IN TROUBLE.
HOLD THIS FOR ME.
AND WHAT DO YOU MEAN,
WEATHER REPORT?
JUST A MESSAGE I GIVE
MR. O'SHAUGHNESSY
SO HE KNOWS I'VE REALLY
BEEN UP THERE.
SALLY TELLS ME THINGS
TO SAY LIKE, UH...
OH, THERE'S
A HURRICANE IN CUBA,
CLOUDY OVER PALERMO,
THINGS LIKE THAT.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY.
I'VE TAKEN CARE
OF MYSELF A LONG TIME.
TAXI!
[WHISTLES]
I NEVER COULD
DO THAT.
IT'S EASY.
PAUL.
I'M LATE.
I KNOW IT.
WERE YOU LOCKED OUT?
DIDN'T YOU
GET THE KEY?
OH, DARLING.
I'M SO SORRY.
NO, I GOT THE KEY,
ALL RIGHT.
MISS GOLIGHTLY,
MY NEIGHBOR,
KINDLY LET ME IN.
MISS GOLIGHTLY'S
ON HER WAY TO SING SING.
JUST VISITING,
OF COURSE.
MISS GOLIGHTLY,
MRS. FALENSON,
MY...DECORATOR.
HOW DO YOU DO?
HOW DO YOU DO?
OOH, DARLING.
LET ME LOOK AT YOU.
ARE--ARE YOU THROUGH?
WAS THE FLIGHT
ABSOLUTELY GHASTLY?
GRAND CENTRAL STATION,
AND STEP ON IT,
DARLING.
IS IT REALLY
ONLY THREE WEEKS
SINCE I LEFT YOU
IN ROME?
SEEMS LIKE YEARS.
YOU SEEN
THE APARTMENT?
NOT YET.
IT WAS WICKED OF ME,
BUT I COULDN'T RESIST.
I FIXED IT UP
WITHOUT YOU.
I THINK IT'S DARLING,
BUT IF YOU
ABSOLUTELY HATE IT,
WE CAN RIP EVERYTHING OUT
AND START FROM SCRATCH.
[LOUD MUSIC PLAYS]
UHH!
MISS GORIGHTLY!
HEY, BABY!
WHERE YOU GOING?
[POUNDING ON DOOR]
COME ON, BABY.
OPEN THE DOOR.
AW, BE A PAL.
YOU'RE BREAKING UP
A BEAUTIFUL PARTY.
[POUNDING]
COME ON, BABY.
OPEN THE DOOR.
HEY, THE BAND'S
SWINGING.
AW, COME ON, BABY.
MISS GORIGHTLY!
ONCE AGAIN,
I MUST PROTEST!
IF YOU DON'T STOP
THAT PHONOGRAPH NOW,
I'M GOING TO CALL
THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.
[PHONOGRAPH NEEDLE
SCRATCHES]
YEAH.
THAT MORE BETTER.
WHAT'S THE MATTER,
BABY?
[POUNDING]
AW, COME ON.
YOU'RE A GREAT KID.
OPEN THE DOOR.
COME ON, BABY.
I'M WAITING
FOR YOU.
[CLATTERING]
IT'S ALL RIGHT.
IT'S ONLY ME.
UH, WAIT A MINUTE.
MISS, UH...
GOLIGHTLY.
HOLLY GOLIGHTLY.
I LIVE DOWNSTAIRS.
WE MET THIS MORNING.
REMEMBER?
YEAH.
IT'S ALL RIGHT.
SHE'S GONE.
SHE WORKS LATE HOURS
FOR A DECORATOR.
THERE'S THE MOST
TERRIFYING MAN DOWNSTAIRS.
HE'S SWEET WHEN
HE ISN'T DRUNK,
BUT LET HIM START
LAPPING UP THE VINO,
AND, OH, GOLLY,
QUEL BEAST.
IT GOT SO TIRESOME,
I WENT OUT THE WINDOW.
[GLASS SHATTERING]
YOU CAN THROW ME OUT
IF YOU WANT,
BUT YOU LOOKED
SO COZY IN HERE,
AND YOUR DECORATOR FRIEND
HAD GONE HOME,
AND IT WAS GETTING COLD
ON THE FIRE ESCAPE.
AND I ALWAYS HEARD
PEOPLE IN NEW YORK
NEVER GET TO KNOW
THEIR NEIGHBORS.
WELL...
HOW WAS SING SING?
FINE.
I MADE THE TRAIN
AND EVERYTHING.
AND WHAT'S
THE WEATHER REPORT?
SMALL-CRAFT WARNINGS,
BLOCK ISLAND TO HATTERAS--
WHATEVER THAT MEANS.
YOU KNOW, YOU'RE SWEET.
YOU REALLY ARE.
AND YOU LOOK A LITTLE
LIKE MY BROTHER FRED.
DO YOU MIND
IF I CALL YOU FRED?
NOT AT ALL.
300. SHE'S VERY GENEROUS.
IS THAT BY THE WEEK,
THE HOUR, OR WHAT?
THE PARTY'S OVER.
OUT.
OH, FRED.
DARLING FRED,
I'M SORRY.
I DIDN'T MEAN
TO HURT YOUR FEELINGS.
DON'T BE ANGRY.
I WAS JUST LETTING
YOU KNOW I UNDERSTAND.
I UNDERSTAND
COMPLETELY.
STICK AROUND.
MAKE YOURSELF A DRINK.
OR THROW ME MY ROBE.
I'LL MAKE YOU ONE.
STAY WHERE YOU ARE.
YOU MUST BE
ABSOLUTELY EXHAUSTED.
I MEAN, IT'S LATE,
AND YOU WERE SOUND ASLEEP
AND EVERYTHING.
I SUPPOSE YOU THINK
I'M VERY BRAZEN
OR TReS FOU
OR SOMETHING.
YOU'RE NO FOUER
THAN ANYBODY ELSE.
YES, YOU DO.
EVERYBODY DOES.
AND I DON'T MIND.
IT'S USEFUL
BEING TOP BANANA
IN THE SHOCK
DEPARTMENT.
WHAT DO YOU DO,
ANYWAY?
I'M A WRITER,
I GUESS.
YOU GUESS?
DON'T YOU KNOW?
O.K.,
POSITIVE STATEMENT.
RINGING AFFIRMATIVE.
I'M A WRITER.
THE ONLY WRITER
I'VE EVER BEEN OUT WITH
IS BENNY SHACKLETT.
HE'S WRITTEN AN AWFUL LOT
OF TELEVISION STUFF,
BUT QUEL RAT.
TELL ME, ARE YOU
A REAL WRITER?
I MEAN, DOES ANYBODY
BUY WHAT YOU WRITE
OR PUBLISH IT
OR ANYTHING?
THEY BOUGHT
WHAT'S IN THAT BOX.
YOURS?
MM-HMM.
ALL THESE BOOKS?
THERE'S JUST
THE ONE BOOK,
12 COPIES OF IT.
"NINE LIVES,
BY PAUL VARJAK."
THEY'RE STORIES.
MM-HMM.
NINE OF THEM.
TELL ME ONE.
THEY'RE NOT
THE KIND OF STORIES
YOU CAN REALLY TELL.
TOO DIRTY?
YEAH, I...SUPPOSE
THEY'RE DIRTY, TOO,
BUT ONLY INCIDENTALLY.
MAINLY THEY'RE ANGRY,
SENSITIVE...
INTENSELY FELT,
AND THAT DIRTIEST
OF ALL DIRTY WORDS--
PROMISING.
SO SAID THE TIMES
BOOK REVIEW,
OCTOBER 1, 1956.
1956?
THAT'S RIGHT.
THIS IS KIND OF
A RATTY QUESTION,
BUT WHAT HAVE
YOU WRITTEN LATELY?
LATELY, I'VE BEEN
WORKING ON A NOVEL.
LATELY, SINCE 1956?
A NOVEL TAKES
A LONG TIME.
I WANT IT
EXACTLY RIGHT.
SO, NO MORE STORIES.
WELL, THE IDEA IS
I'M SUPPOSED TO NOT
FRITTER MY TALENT
ON LITTLE THINGS.
I'M SUPPOSED
TO BE SAVING IT
FOR THE BIG ONE.
DO YOU WRITE EVERY DAY?
SURE.
TODAY?
SURE.
IT'S A BEAUTIFUL
TYPEWRITER.
OF COURSE.
IT WRITES NOTHING
BUT SENSITIVE,
INTENSELY FELT,
PROMISING PROSE.
THERE'S NO RIBBON IN IT.
THERE ISN'T?
NO.
OH.
SOMETHING YOU SAID
THIS MORNING
HAS BEEN BOTHERING
ME ALL DAY.
WHAT'S THAT?
DO THEY REALLY
GIVE YOU $50
WHENEVER YOU GO
TO THE POWDER ROOM?
OF COURSE.
YOU MUST DO
VERY WELL.
I'M TRYING TO SAVE,
BUT I'M NOT
VERY GOOD AT IT.
YOU KNOW, YOU DO
LOOK A LOT LIKE
MY BROTHER FRED.
I HAVEN'T SEEN HIM
SINCE I WAS 14.
THAT'S WHEN I LEFT HOME.
HE WAS ALREADY 6'2".
IT MUST HAVE BEEN
THE PEANUT BUTTER
THAT DID IT.
EVERYBODY THOUGHT
HE WAS DOTTY
THE WAY HE GORGED HIMSELF
ON PEANUT BUTTER,
BUT HE WASN'T DOTTY,
JUST SWEET AND VAGUE
AND...TERRIBLY SLOW.
POOR FRED.
HE'S IN THE ARMY NOW.
THAT'S REALLY
THE BEST PLACE FOR HIM
UNTIL I CAN GET
ENOUGH MONEY SAVED.
AND THEN?
AND THEN FRED AND I...
I WENT TO MEXICO ONCE.
IT'S A WONDERFUL PLACE
FOR RAISING HORSES.
I SAW ONE PLACE
NEAR THE SEA THAT...
FRED'S VERY GOOD
WITH HORSES.
EVEN LAND IN MEXICO
COSTS SOMETHING.
NO MATTER WHAT I DO,
THERE'S NEVER MORE THAN
A COUPLE HUNDRED DOLLARS
IN THE BANK.
[CLOCK CHIMES]
IT CAN'T BE 4:30.
IT JUST CAN'T.
DO YOU MIND IF I JUST
GET IN WITH YOU
FOR A MINUTE?
IT'S ALL RIGHT.
REALLY, IT IS.
WE'RE FRIENDS.
THAT'S ALL.
WE ARE FRIENDS,
AREN'T WE?
SURE.
O.K., LET'S DON'T
SAY ANOTHER WORD.
LET'S JUST
GO TO SLEEP.
WHERE ARE YOU, FRED?
IT'S COLD.
THERE--THERE'S SNOW
IN THE WIND.
WHAT IS IT?
WHAT'S THE MATTER?
WHY ARE YOU CRYING?
IF WE'RE GOING
TO BE FRIENDS,
LET'S JUST GET ONE THING
STRAIGHT RIGHT NOW.
I HATE SNOOPS.
[TELEPHONE RINGS]
[RING]
[RING]
YEAH.
LUCILLE, DARLING?
TOOLEY.
HUH?
I'VE BEEN TRYING
DESPERATELY TO REACH YOU.
BILL JUST GOT BACK--
A DAY EARLY,
THE BEAST--
SO I'M AFRAID
I'LL HAVE TO BEG OFF.
YOU'LL EXPLAIN TO
THE REST OF THE GIRLS?
YOU'RE A DARLING.
MAYBE WE CAN HAVE
A LONG LUNCH TOMORROW.
I'LL PHONE YOU
IN THE MORNING.
MM-HMM.
WHATEVER YOU SAY.
YOU'LL MANAGE TO SURVIVE
WITHOUT ME TONIGHT?
SURE.
I MIGHT EVEN TAKE
A WILD BOYISH FLING
AT WRITING.
GOOD NIGHT.
GOOD NIGHT.
[CHA-CHA MUSIC PLAYS]
GOT YOURSELF STUFFED,
HUH, POLLY, BABY?
SERVES YOU RIGHT,
BIGMOUTH.
BUON GIORNO.
HUH?
AREN'T YOU DRINKING?
MM-HMM.
YOU HAVE POCKETS
THERE OR SOMETHING?
WHAT DO YOU GO BY?
HMM?
WHAT'S YOUR NAME?
WHAT DO YOU
CALL YOURSELF?
IRVING.
OH, YEAH.
PERFECT, PERFECT.
THAT'S WONDERFUL.
PERFECT.
[DOORBELL BUZZES]
I'LL BE RIGHT BACK,
IRVING, BABY.
MM-HMM.
[BUZZ]
KID'S STILL
IN THE SHOWER.
YOU EXPECTED?
I WAS INVITED.
THAT WHAT YOU MEAN?
DON'T GET
ALL TENSE AND SOFT.
COME IN.
IT'S A PARTY.
LOT OF CHARACTERS COME
WHO AREN'T EXPECTED.
I'LL BUY YOU A DRINK.
YOU DRINK?
YEAH.
THEN I'LL BUY YOU
A DRINK.
HEY, HONEY, YOUR
SKIRT'S SPLIT THERE.
WHAT DO YOU DRINK?
BOURBON.
BOURBON.
ON THE ROCKS?
YEAH--NO.
WITH WATER.
YOU WANT ROCKS FIRST?
UH, YEAH.
NOT TOO MUCH.
ALL RIGHT.
THAT'LL
SET YOU FREE.
KNOW THE KID LONG?
NOT VERY.
I LIVE UPSTAIRS.
LOOK AT THIS PLACE.
WHAT A PLACE.
IT'S UNBELIEVABLE.
WHAT A DUMP.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
ABOUT WHAT?
IS SHE OR ISN'T SHE?
[DOORBELL BUZZES]
WAIT A MINUTE.
HOLD IT.
HARRIET!
HI, J.B.
"J.B."? WHAT'S THAT?
YOU KNOW GIL.
YEAH. HOW ARE YOU?
HOW ABOUT A DRINK?
IN THE KITCHEN.
THANKS.
YEAH.
SO--
OH, HONEY,
THAT IS YOU.
FRED, DARLING,
I'M SO GLAD
YOU COULD COME.
I BROUGHT YOU
A HOUSE PRESENT.
SOMETHING FOR
THE BOOKCASE.
OH, YOU'RE SWEET.
DOESN'T THAT
LOOK NICE?
GIVE ME
A CIGARETTE, O.J.
O.J.'S A GREAT AGENT.
HE KNOWS A LOT
OF PHONE NUMBERS.
WHAT'S JERRY WALD'S
PHONE NUMBER?
COME ON, LAY OFF.
CALL HIM AND TELL HIM
FRED'S A GENIUS.
STOP BLUSHING, FRED.
YOU DIDN'T SAY IT.
I DID.
QUIT STALLING.
HOW ARE YOU
GOING TO MAKE FRED
RICH AND FAMOUS?
LET FRED AND ME
SETTLE THAT, HUH, PUPPY?
O.K., BUT REMEMBER,
I'M THE AGENT.
HE'S ALREADY
GOT A DECORATOR.
I'M THE AGENT.
[DOORBELL BUZZES]
HOLD IT.
HI, BOYS.
COME ON IN.
EVERYTHING YOU NEED'S
IN THE KITCHEN.
SO LISTEN,
FRED, BABY,
WHAT ARE--
NO, IT'S PAUL, BABY.
IT IS?
I THOUGHT IT WAS
FRED, BABY.
ANSWER THE QUESTION.
IS SHE OR ISN'T SHE?
WHAT?
A PHONY.
I DON'T KNOW.
I DON'T THINK SO.
YOU DON'T, HUH?
WELL, YOU'RE WRONG.
SHE IS.
BUT ON THE OTHER HAND,
YOU'RE RIGHT,
BECAUSE SHE'S
A REAL PHONY.
SHE HONESTLY BELIEVES
ALL THIS PHONY JUNK.
NOW, I SINCERELY
LIKE THE KID. I DO.
I'M SENSITIVE,
THAT'S WHY.
YOU GOT TO BE SENSITIVE
TO LIKE THE KID.
IT'S A STREAK
OF THE POET.
YOU KNOWN HER LONG?
I DISCOVERED HER.
I'M O.J. BERMAN.
SHE WAS JUST A KID--
LOT OF STYLE AND CLASS...
LOT OF WHAT?
CLASS.
BUT YOU DIDN'T KNOW WHAT
SHE WAS TALKING ABOUT--
WHETHER SHE WAS
A HILLBILLY OR AN OKIE.
KNOW HOW LONG IT TOOK ME
TO SMOOTH THAT ACCENT?
ONE YEAR.
KNOW HOW?
WE GAVE HER
FRENCH LESSONS.
FIGURED ONCE SHE COULD
IMITATE FRENCH,
SHE COULD IMITATE
ENGLISH.
FINALLY, I ARRANGED
FOR A LITTLE SCREEN TEST.
THE NIGHT BEFORE,
THE PHONE RINGS.
I SAID, "O.J. SPEAKING."
SHE SAYS,
"THIS IS HOLLY."
I SAYS, "YOU SOUND
SO FAR AWAY."
SHE SAYS,
"I'M IN NEW YORK."
I SAID, "GET YOURSELF
BACK HERE."
SHE SAYS,
"I DON'T WANT TO."
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
WHAT DO YOU WANT?"
SHE SAYS,
"WHEN I FIND OUT,
I'LL LET YOU KNOW."
SO, LOOK,
FRED, BABY--
IT'S PAUL, BABY.
SURE. DON'T TELL ME
SHE ISN'T A PHONY.
IRVING.
HONEY, IRVING,
WHERE YOU BEEN?
[MEOW]
MMM, THANKS.
MIKE, DARLING,
I TRIED REACHING YOU
ALL DAY LONG.
YOUR ANSWERING SERVICE
DOESN'T ANSWER.
THAT'S THE TROUBLE
WITH ANSWERING SERVICES.
WELL,
I GUESS THAT'S...
AND AFTER ALL
THAT SHE SAID...
HOLLY!
OHH!
TIME, DARLING.
WHAT?
TIME?
YOU HAVE A WATCH?
NO.
OH, LET ME SEE.
6:45.
THANK YOU.
AAH!
REALLY, WAS THAT
NECESSARY?
THIS IS SOME PARTY.
WHO ARE ALL THESE
PEOPLE, ANYHOW?
WHO KNOWS?
THE WORD GETS OUT.
YOU DON'T MIND,
DO YOU, DARLING?
MMM.
REINFORCEMENTS.
RIGHT IN THERE.
HOLLY?
HOLLY, D-DARLING!
WHAT'S THAT?
MAG WILDWOOD.
SHE'S A MODEL,
BELIEVE IT OR NOT,
AND A THUMPING BORE.
BUT JUST LOOK
AT THE GOODIES
SHE BROUGHT
WITH HER.
HE'S ALL RIGHT,
IF YOU LIKE
DARK, HANDSOME,
RICH-LOOKING MEN
WITH PASSIONATE NATURES
AND TOO MANY TEETH.
I MEAN THE OTHER ONE.
THE OTHER ONE?
HE'S RUSTY TRAWLER.
HUH?
RUSTY TRAWLER.
HE HAPPENS TO BE
THE NINTH RICHEST
MAN IN AMERICA
UNDER 50.
NOW, THAT, INDEED,
IS A REMARKABLE
PIECE OF INFORMATION
TO HAVE
AT YOUR FINGERTIPS.
I KEEP TRACK
OF THESE THINGS.
EXCUSE ME.
YOU OWE ME 47--
HOLD THIS A MINUTE,
DARLING.
MAG, DARLING,
WHAT ARE YOU
DOING HERE?
I WAS UPSTAIRS
WORKING WITH YUNIOSHI--
EASTER STUFF
FOR THE B-BAZAAR.
THEN THESE TWO
NICE BOYS
CAME TO PICK ME UP.
IT WAS A MISTAKE,
OF COURSE.
MY WIRES GOT CROSSED
SOMEWHERE.
THEY WERE BOTH
VERY SWEET ABOUT IT.
MAY I PRESENT
JOSE SILVA PEREIRA?
HE'S FROM BRAZIL.
MISS G-GOLIGHTLY.
VERY KIND OF YOU,
MISS GOLIGHTLY,
TO ALLOW ME
TO ATTEND YOUR PARTY.
I'M SO INTERESTED
IN NORTH AMERICAN CULTURE.
I'VE BEEN ALREADY
TO THE STATUE OF LIBERTY
AND TO THE RESTAURANT
AUTOMATIQUE.
BUT THIS IS
THE FIRST TIME
I AM IN A TYPICAL
NORTH AMERICAN HOME.
WOULDN'T HE JUST
M-MELT IN YOUR MOUTH?
AND THIS IS
MR. RUSTY TRAWLER.
MISS GOLIGHTLY.
YOU'RE NOT VEXED AT ME
FOR BRINGING HIM?
OF COURSE NOT,
DARLING.
I'M GLAD.
NOW, WHO'S GOING TO
BRING ME A BOURBON?
O.J.
YEAH.
WOULD YOU GET
MISS WILDWOOD A DRINK?
WHICH ONE'S
MISS WILDWOOD?
MR. BERMAN,
WE HAVEN'T BEEN
FORMALLY INTRODUCED.
BUT I'M MAG WILDWOOD
FROM WILDWOOD, ARKANSAS.
THAT'S...HILL COUNTRY.
NOW, YOU JUST
MAKE YOURSELF
RIGHT AT HOME.
OH, DON'T
TROUBLE YOURSELF.
I'M CONTENTED
TO OBSERVE THE CUSTOMS
OF YOUR COUNTRY.
O.K., YOU DO THAT.
NOW COME ALONG,
MR. TRAWLER.
LET'S SEE WHAT WE
CAN FIND TO AMUSE YOU.
[WAILING]
[TELEPHONE RINGS]
[RING]
I WASN'T SUPPOSED
TO PICK YOU UP.
YOU SAID YOU WOULD.
I WASN'T SUPPOSED
TO PICK YOU UP.
[RING]
YES?
MISS GOLIGHTLY?
THIS TIME
I'M A-WARNING YOU!
I AM DEFINITELY
THIS TIME
GOING TO CALLING
THE POLICE!
WOW!
GOOD EVENING.
HA HA.
IS IT SOMETHING
IMPORTANT?
NO. JUST THE GUY UPSTAIRS
COMPLAINING
ABOUT THE NOISE.
HE'S ANGRY.
HE DID MENTION
SOMETHING ABOUT
CALLING THE POLICE.
OH, THE POLICE.
THE POLICE?
THAT I CANNOT HAVE.
I'D BETTER LOOK
FOR MISS WILDWOOD
AND GO.
AAH!
TO THINK I'D FIND
A BEAU OF MINE
MOUSING AFTER A PIECE
OF CHEAP HOLLYWOOD TRASH.
MAG, DARLING,
YOU'RE BEING A BORE.
SHUT UP!
YOU KNOW WHAT'S GOING
TO HAPPEN TO YOU?
I'M GOING TO MARCH YOU
OVER TO THE ZOO
AND FEED YOU
TO THE YAK...
JUST AS SOON AS
I FINISH THIS DRINK.
TIMBER!
[CRASH]
[SIREN]
AAH!
SORRY.
OH.
OH, GOOD EVENING, ED.
IT'S PAUL, BABY.
YOU REMEMBER IRVING,
DON'T YOU?
THIS IS JOSE.
NICE TO MEET YOU.
UH...
WONDERFUL SEEING YOU.
JEWEL THIEVES.
[WHISTLES BLOWING]
SALLY HELPS ME
WITH MY ACCOUNTS.
I HAVE NO HEAD
FOR FIGURES AT ALL.
I'M TRYING DESPERATELY
TO SAVE SOME MONEY.
I JUST CAN'T
SEEM TO.
HE MAKES ME WRITE DOWN
EVERYTHING IN THERE.
WHAT I GET,
WHAT I SPEND.
I USED TO HAVE
A CHECKING ACCOUNT.
HE MADE ME
GET RID OF THAT.
HE FEELS, FOR ME,
IT'S BETTER TO OPERATE
ON A CASH BASIS,
TAXWISE.
SOMEDAY, MR. FRED,
YOU TAKE THIS BOOK,
TURN IT INTO A NOVEL.
EVERYTHING IS THERE.
JUST FILL IN
THE DETAILS.
WOULD BE GOOD
FOR SOME LAUGHS.
NO. NO, I DON'T THINK SO.
THIS IS A BOOK
WOULD BREAK THE HEART.
"MR. FITZSIMMONS--
POWDER ROOM, $50.
"LESS $18--REPAIR
ONE BLACK SATIN DRESS.
CAT FOOD, 27 CENTS."
SALLY, DARLING,
PLEASE STOP.
YOU'RE MAKING ME BLUSH.
BUT YOU'RE RIGHT
ABOUT JACK FITZSIMMONS.
HE'S AN ABSOLUTE RAT.
BUT I GUESS,
OF COURSE,
I DON'T KNOW ANYBODY
BUT RATS.
EXCEPT, OF COURSE,
FRED HERE.
YOU DO THINK FRED
IS NICE, DON'T YOU?
FOR YOU...
I HOPE HE IS.
[BLOWS WHISTLE]
GIVE ME
A KISS GOODBYE.
GOODBYE, UNCLE SALLY.
TILL NEXT WEEK.
GOODBYE,
UNCLE SALLY.
GOODBYE AND DON'T FORGET
TO SEND THAT BOOK.
I WON'T.
OH, WHAT ABOUT
THE WEATHER REPORT?
OH, YES.
SNOW FLURRIES
EXPECTED THIS WEEKEND
IN NEW ORLEANS.
SNOW FLURRIES
EXPECTED THIS WEEKEND
IN NEW ORLEANS?
ISN'T THAT
JUST THE WEIRDEST?
I BET THEY HAVEN'T HAD
SNOW IN NEW ORLEANS
FOR A MILLION YEARS.
I DON'T KNOW HOW
HE THINKS THEM UP.

[DOORBELL BUZZES]
[BUZZ]
WELL, HELLO.
WHAT'S WRONG?
I DON'T KNOW.
IT'S PROBABLY NOTHING.
I WANT TO SEE
IF HE'S STILL THERE.
SEE IF WHO'S
STILL THERE?
WHAT ARE YOU
TALKING ABOUT?
LOOK.
SEE? I NOTICED HIM
YESTERDAY AFTERNOON.
I DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING.
I DIDN'T WANT TO
SOUND NEUROTIC, BUT...
WHEN HE'S THERE
AGAIN TODAY...
WHO DO YOU THINK
HE IS?
IT COULD BE ANYBODY,
OF COURSE,
BUT WHAT CROSSED
MY MIND WAS...
SUPPOSE BILL'S
HAVING US WATCHED, HUH?
O.K. I'LL TAKE CARE
OF THIS.
NO. NO, DON'T.
PLEASE.
IF THAT'S
WHAT IT IS,
YOU'LL ONLY MAKE
EVERYTHING WORSE.
I'LL BE CAREFUL.
YOU WAIT HERE.
DARLING, PLEASE DON'T.
I DON'T THINK YOU SHOULD.
NOW, TAKE IT EASY.
I JUST WANT
TO FIND OUT
WHAT THIS IS
ALL ABOUT.
ALL RIGHT,
WHAT DO YOU WANT?
SON, I NEED A FRIEND.
THAT'S ME,
THAT'S HER,
THAT'S HER
BROTHER FRED.
YOU'RE HOLLY'S FATHER?
HER NAME AIN'T HOLLY.
SHE WAS
LULA MAE BARNES.
WAS TILL
SHE MARRIED ME.
I'M HER HUSBAND
DOC GOLIGHTLY.
PAUL VARJAK.
I'M A HORSE DOCTOR.
ANIMAL MAN.
DO SOME
FARMING, TOO,
NEAR TULIP, TEXAS.
HER BROTHER FRED'S
GETTING OUT OF
THE ARMY SOON.
LULA MAE
BELONGS HOME
WITH HER HUSBAND,
HER BROTHER,
AND HER CHILDREN.
CHILDREN?
THEM'S HER CHILDREN.
SHE'S GOT FOUR CHILDREN?
NOW, SON,
I DIDN'T CLAIM
THEY WAS HER
NATURAL-BORN CHILDREN.
THEIR OWN
PRECIOUS MOTHER--
PRECIOUS WOMAN--
PASSED AWAY JULY 4th,
INDEPENDENCE DAY, 1955,
THE YEAR OF THE DROUGHT.
WHEN I MARRIED LULA MAE,
SHE WAS GOING ON 14.
YOU MIGHT THINK
THE AVERAGE PERSON
GOING ON 14
WOULDN'T KNOW
HER OWN MIND.
BUT YOU TAKE LULA MAE,
SHE WAS
AN EXCEPTIONAL PERSON.
SHE JUST PLUMB
BROKE OUR HEARTS
WHEN SHE RUN OFF
LIKE SHE DONE.
JUST PLAIN
HAD NO REASON.
ALL THE HOUSEWORK
WAS DONE BY
OUR DAUGHTERS.
LULA MAE COULD JUST
TAKE IT EASY.
THAT WOMAN
GOT POSITIVELY FAT,
WHILE HER BROTHER,
HE GROWED UP
INTO A GIANT,
WHICH IS
A SIGHT DIFFERENT
FROM THE WAY
THEY COME TO US.
A COUPLE OF WILD
YOUNG'UNS THEY WAS.
I CAUGHT 'EM
STEALING MILK
AND TURKEY EGGS.
THEY'D BEEN LIVING
WITH SOME MEAN,
NO-ACCOUNT PEOPLE
ABOUT 100 MILE
EAST OF TULIP.
SHE HAD GOOD CAUSE
TO RUN OFF
FROM THAT HOUSE.
NEVER HAD NONE
TO LEAVE MINE.
WHAT ABOUT HER BROTHER?
DIDN'T HE LEAVE, TOO?
NO. WE HAD FRED
WITH US
TILL THE ARMY
TOOK HIM.
THAT'S WHY I COME.
I HAD A LETTER
FROM HIM.
HE'S GETTING OUT
IN FEBRUARY.
THAT'S WHY
I COME TO GET HER.
LULA MAE'S PLACE IS
WITH HER HUSBAND,
HER CHILDREN,
AND HER BROTHER.
HUH?
THE PRIZE FROM
THE CRACKER JACK.
WANT IT?
UH-UH.
NEVER COULD UNDERSTAND
WHY THAT WOMAN RUN OFF.
DON'T TELL ME
SHE WEREN'T HAPPY.
TALKY AS A JAYBIRD
SHE WAS,
WITH SOMETHING SMART
TO SAY ON EVERY SUBJECT.
BETTER THAN THE RADIO.
THE NIGHT I PROPOSED,
I CRIED LIKE A BABY.
SHE SAID,
"WHY ARE YOU CRYING?
"OF COURSE
WE'LL BE MARRIED.
I NEVER BEEN
MARRIED BEFORE."
I LAUGHED AND HUGGED
AND SQUEEZED HER.
"NEVER BEEN
MARRIED BEFORE."
LISTEN, SON,
I ADVISE YOU,
I NEED A FRIEND,
'CAUSE I DON'T WANT
TO SURPRISE HER
OR SCARE HER NONE.
BE MY FRIEND.
LET HER KNOW I'M HERE.
WILL YOU DO THAT
FOR ME, SON?
YEAH, SURE, DOC,
IF THAT'S
WHAT YOU WANT.
COME ON.
[DOORBELL BUZZES]
[BUZZ]
ALL RIGHT.
COMING.
[BUZZ]
OH, DARLING,
I'M ON MY WAY OUT.
I'M HALF AN HOUR LATE.
MAYBE WE CAN HAVE
A DRINK TOMORROW.
SURE,
LULA MAE...
IF YOU'RE STILL
HERE TOMORROW.
OH, PLEASE,
WHERE IS HE?
FRED?
FRED?
GOSH.
LULA MAE.
GEE, HONEY,
DON'T THEY
FEED YOU UP HERE?
YOU'RE SO SKINNY.
HI, DOC.
GOSH, LULA MAE...
KINGDOM COME.
[KNOCK ON WINDOW]
[KNOCKING]
WHAT'S THE MATTER?
YOU ALL RIGHT?
I GUESS SO.
NO, I'M NOT.
WILL YOU HELP ME?
IF I CAN.
COME TO THE BUS STATION
WITH DOC AND ME.
HE STILL THINKS
I'M GOING BACK.
I CAN'T PLAY
THE SCENE ALONE.
WHAT CAN I DO?
HE'S YOUR HUSBAND.
NO, HE'S NOT.
HE'S NOT?
IT WAS ANNULLED AGES AGO.
HE JUST WON'T ACCEPT IT.
PLEASE, FRED,
I'LL SAY YOU'RE
SEEING US OFF.
DON'T SAY ANYTHING.
JUST MEET US OUT FRONT
IN ABOUT AN HOUR. PLEASE?
YOU WAIT
RIGHT HERE, HONEY.
I'LL GET THE BAG.
WHY DON'T I GET
SOME MAGAZINES?
PLEASE, FRED,
DON'T LEAVE ME.
ATTENTION, PLEASE.
LEAVING FROM PLATFORM FIVE,
THROUGH COACH TO DALLAS--
PHILADELPHIA, COLUMBUS,
INDIANAPOLIS, TERRE HAUTE,
ST. LOUIS, TULSA,
OKLAHOMA CITY, DENISON, DALLAS.
COME ON, LULA MAE.
THAT'S US.
DOC, I'M NOT
COMING WITH YOU.
COME ON.
LET'S WALK QUIETLY.
I'LL TRY AND HELP YOU
UNDERSTAND.
HELP ME OUT, FRED.
I APPRECIATE
YOU WANT TO HELP,
BUT IT'S BETWEEN
LULA MAE AND ME.
SURE, DOC.
I LOVE YOU, LULA MAE.
I KNOW,
AND THAT'S THE TROUBLE.
IT'S A MISTAKE
YOU ALWAYS MADE--
TRYING TO LOVE
A WILD THING.
YOU WERE ALWAYS
LUGGING HOME
WILD THINGS--
A HAWK WITH A BROKEN WING,
A FULL-GROWN WILDCAT
WITH A BROKEN LEG...
REMEMBER?
THERE'S SOMETHING--
YOU MUSTN'T
GIVE YOUR HEART
TO A WILD THING.
THE MORE YOU DO,
THE STRONGER THEY GET
UNTIL THEY'RE STRONG ENOUGH
TO FLY INTO A TREE,
THEN TO HIGHER TREES,
THEN TO THE SKY.
THERE'S SOMETHING
I GOT TO TELL YOU.
EXCUSE ME.
COUPLE WEEKS AGO,
I GOT A LETTER
FROM FRED.
FROM FRED?
HE'S ALL RIGHT,
ISN'T HE?
YEAH, HE'S FINE,
I GUESS.
HE'S GETTING OUT
OF THE ARMY
IN FEBRUARY.
IN FEBRUARY?
WELL, THAT'S
ONLY FOUR MONTHS.
SO, SEE, YOU
GOT TO COME BACK.
YOUR PLACE
IS WITH US.
DOC, YOU'VE
GOT TO UNDERSTAND.
I CAN'T COME BACK.
YOU GOT TO UNDERSTAND
WHAT I'M SAYING.
I DON'T WANT
TO PRESSURE YOU,
BUT IT GOT TO.
IF YOU DON'T COME,
I'LL HAVE TO TELL
YOUNG FRED
HE BETTER SIGN UP
FOR ANOTHER HITCH.
DON'T DO THAT.
DON'T WRITE THAT TO HIM.
I'LL WRITE HIM AND SAY
I WANT HIM WITH ME.
I'LL TAKE CARE OF HIM.
YOU'RE TALKING CRAZY,
LULA MAE.
DOC, STOP CALLING ME THAT.
I'M NOT LULA MAE ANYMORE.
ALL RIGHT, LULA MAE.
I GUESS YOU KNOW
WHAT YOU'RE DOING.
KEEP AN EYE ON HER,
WILL YOU, SON?
AT LEAST SEE SHE EATS
SOMETHING ONCE IN A WHILE.
SURE, DOC.
SO SKINNY.
PLEASE, DOC.
PLEASE UNDERSTAND.
I LOVE YOU,
BUT I'M JUST NOT
LULA MAE ANYMORE.
I'M NOT.
YOU KNOW
THE TERRIBLE THING,
FRED, DARLING?
I AM STILL LULA MAE--
14 YEARS OLD,
STEALING TURKEY EGGS,
AND RUNNING THROUGH
A BRIAR PATCH.
EXCEPT NOW
I CALL IT
HAVING
THE MEAN REDS.
WELL, IT'S STILL
TOO EARLY
TO GO TO TIFFANY'S.
I GUESS
THE NEXT BEST THING
IS A DRINK.
YES, I VERY MUCH
NEED A DRINK.
BUY ME ONE,
FRED, DARLING?
SURE.
ONLY PROMISE ME
ONE THING--
DON'T TAKE ME HOME
UNTIL I'M DRUNK...
UNTIL I'M VERY
DRUNK, INDEED.
[DRUM BEATS]
[BAND PLAYS]
DO YOU THINK
SHE'S TALENTED,
DEEPLY AND
IMPORTANTLY TALENTED?
NO.
AMUSINGLY AND SUPERFICIALLY
TALENTED, YES,
BUT DEEPLY
AND IMPORTANTLY, NO.
GRACIOUS.
DO YOU THINK
SHE'S HANDSOMELY PAID?
HMM?
OH.
INDEED.
WELL, LET ME
TELL YOU SOMETHING.
IF I HAD HER MONEY,
I'D BE RICHER
THAN SHE IS.
HOW DO YOU
FIGURE THAT?
BECAUSE I'D KEEP
THE CANDY STORE.
OLD SALLY TOMATO--
THAT'S MY CANDY STORE.
I'D ALWAYS KEEP SALLY.
THAT'S WHY I'D BE
RICHER THAN SHE IS.
WE'D BETTER GET
A LITTLE MORE AIR.
TOM, DICK, AND HARRY--
NO. CORRECTION.
EVERY TOM, DICK, AND SID--
HARRY WAS HIS FRIEND.
ANYWAY, EVERY TOM, DICK,
AND SID SINKS--
THINKS IF HE TAKES
A GIRL TO DINNER,
SHE'LL JUST CURL UP
IN A LITTLE FURRY BALL
AT HIS FEET, RIGHT?
I HAVE BY ACTUAL COUNT
BEEN TAKEN TO DINNER
BY 26 DIFFERENT RATS
IN THE LAST 2 MONTHS,
27, IF YOU COUNT
BENNY SHACKLETT,
WHO'S IN MANY WAYS
A SUPERRAT.
I FORGOT MY KEY.
NEVER MIND.
I JUST BUZZED YUNIOSHI.
OH.
DO YOU WANT TO KNOW
SOMETHING FUNNY?
IN SPITE OF THE FACT
MOST OF THESE RATS
FORK UP $50
FOR THE POWDER ROOM
LIKE LITTLE DOLLS...
[BUZZING]
I FIND I HAVE $9.00 LESS
IN THE BANK ACCOUNT
THAN I HAD
SIX MONTHS AGO.
SO, MY DARLING FRED,
I HAVE TONIGHT MADE
A VERY SERIOUS DECISION.
AND WHAT IS THAT?
NO LONGER WILL I
PLAY THE FIELD.
CONGRATULATIONS.
THE FIELD STINKS,
BOTH ECONOMICALLY
AND SOCIALLY,
AND I'M GIVING IT UP.
WHOA.
MISS GOLIGHTLY,
THIS TIME I'M CALLING
THE POLICE,
THE FIRE DEPARTMENT,
AND NEW YORK STATE
HOUSING COMMISSION,
AND, IF NECESSARY,
THE BOARD OF HEALTH!
QUIET, UP THERE.
YOU WANT TO WAKE
THE WHOLE HOUSE?
AS MISS GOLIGHTLY
WAS SAYING
BEFORE SHE WAS
SO RUDELY INTERRUPTED,
MISS GOLIGHTLY
FURTHER ANNOUNCES
HER INTENTION
TO DEVOTE HER
NOT INCONSIDERABLE TALENTS
TO THE IMMEDIATE CAPTURE,
FOR THE PURPOSE
OF MATRIMONY,
OF MR. BR-RUTHERFORD--
RUSTY TO HIS FRIENDS,
OF WHOM I'M SURE
HE HAS MANY--
TRAWLER.
WHO?
RUSTY TRAWLER.
YOU MET HIM AT MY PARTY.
HE CAME WITH MAG WILDWOOD,
NOT THE BEAUTIFUL
LATIN TYPE.
THE OTHER ONE,
THE ONE THAT
LOOKS LIKE A PIG.
REMEMBER?
THE 9th RICHEST MAN
IN AMERICA UNDER 50?
AH...
DO I DETECT A LOOK
OF DISAPPROVAL
IN YOUR EYE?
TOUGH BEANS, BUDDY,
'CAUSE THAT'S THE WAY
IT'S GOING TO BE.
HI, CAT.
HOLLY,
YOU'RE DRUNK.
TRUE.
ABSOLUTELY TRUE.
TRUE, BUT IRRELEVANT.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
SO I THINK WE SHOULD
HAVE A DRINK
TO THE NEW
MRS. RUSTY TRAWLER...
ME.
HEY, TAKE IT EASY.
WHAT'S THE MATTER?
DON'T YOU THINK
I CAN DO IT?
TELL ME.
I'M INTERESTED.
DON'T YOU THINK I CAN?
YOU HEARD THE DOC.
MY BROTHER GETS OUT
IN FEBRUARY.
THE DOC WON'T
TAKE HIM BACK.
IT'S ALL UP TO ME.
I DON'T KNOW WHY
YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.
I NEED MONEY,
AND I'LL DO WHATEVER
I HAVE TO DO TO GET IT.
SO...
THIS TIME NEXT MONTH,
I'LL BE THE NEW
MRS. RUSTY TRAWLER.
I THINK WE SHOULD HAVE
A LITTLE DRINK TO THAT.
IT'S ALL GONE.
ISN'T THAT TOO BAD?
GOT ANY WHISKEY UPSTAIRS?
BUT YOU'VE HAD ENOUGH.
GO AHEAD.
GET THE WHISKEY.
I'LL PAY YOU FOR IT.
HOLLY, PLEASE.
NO, NO.
YOU DISAPPROVE OF ME,
AND I DO NOT
ACCEPT DRINKS
FROM GENTLEMEN
WHO DISAPPROVE OF ME.
I'LL PAY FOR
MY OWN WHISKEY.
DON'T YOU FORGET IT.
HOLLY.
I DO NOT ACCEPT DRINKS
FROM DISAPPROVING GENTLEMEN,
ESPECIALLY NOT
DISAPPROVING GENTLEMEN
WHO ARE KEPT
BY OTHER LADIES.
SO TAKE IT.
YOU SHOULD BE
USED TO TAKING MONEY
FROM LADIES BY NOW.
IF I WERE YOU,
I'D BE MORE CAREFUL
WITH MY MONEY.
RUSTY TRAWLER
IS TOO HARD A WAY
OF EARNING IT.
IT SHOULD TAKE YOU
EXACTLY FOUR SECONDS
TO CROSS FROM HERE
TO THAT DOOR.
I'LL GIVE YOU TWO.
[WHISTLING MOON RIVER]
HEH.
HI.
I WANTED TO TALK
ABOUT THE OTHER NIGHT,
THEN I SAW THE PAPER,
AND--
WELL, ACTUALLY, I'M KIND OF
EMBARRASSED ABOUT IT,
BUT SINCE
IT CONCERNS YOU,
I THOUGHT I SHOULD
TALK ABOUT IT IN PERSON.
WHAT?
WHAT?
MM-HMM.
OH. THE EARPLUGS.
I CAN'T GO THROUGH
THE WHOLE THING AGAIN.
IT'S SUFFICIENT TO SAY,
I'VE COME TO MAKE UP.
AS AN ADDED INDUCEMENT,
I HAVE ALL KINDS OF NEWS.
CAN I COME IN?
I GUESS SO.
JUST A MINUTE. DO I
HAVE A NIGHTGOWN ON?
NO, I DON'T.
WOULD YOU TURN AROUND
FOR A SECOND?
NEVER MIND.
THAT'S CORNY ANYWAY.
I'LL TURN AROUND
MYSELF.
COME IN.
HAVE...
YOU SEEN THE PAPER?
MMM.
RUSTY, YOU MEAN.
MM-HMM.
YES. I KNOW
ALL ABOUT IT.
CERTAINLY HAD HIM...
PEGGED WRONG,
DIDN'T I?
I THOUGHT
HE WAS JUST A RAT,
BUT HE WAS A SUPERRAT
ALL ALONG.
A SUPERRAT
IN RAT'S CLOTHING.
YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW
THE BEST PART.
NOT ONLY WAS HE
A SUPERRAT,
HE WAS ALSO BROKE.
BROKE?
I MEAN,
BUT NOT A FARTHING.
HIS FAMILY HAS MONEY,
OF COURSE,
BUT HE PERSONALLY
IS BROKE.
IT TURNS OUT
HE OWES $700,000.
CAN YOU IMAGINE
ANYONE OWING $700,000?
$43, YES.
ANYWAY,
THAT'S WHY HE DECIDED
TO MARRY THE QUEEN
OF THE PIG PEOPLE.
I'LL TELL YOU ONE THING,
FRED, DARLING--
I'D MARRY YOU FOR
YOUR MONEY IN A MINUTE.
WOULD YOU MARRY ME
FOR MY MONEY?
IN A MINUTE.
I GUESS
IT'S PRETTY LUCKY
NEITHER OF US
IS RICH, HUH?
YEAH.
OH, FRED, DARLING,
I'M SO GLAD TO SEE YOU.
WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN DOING?
[MEOW]
WRITING, MOSTLY.
SOLD A STORY.
JUST GOT WORD
THIS MORNING.
OH, THAT'S MARVELOUS.
IT REALLY IS.
ONLY HOW DOES YOUR DECORATOR
FRIEND FEEL ABOUT IT?
AREN'T YOU SUPPOSED TO
BE SAVING YOURSELF?
YOU KNOW SOMETHING?
I HAVEN'T GOT AROUND
TO TELLING HER YET.
LOOK, WHY DON'T WE
GO HAVE A DRINK
OR TAKE A WALK
TO CELEBRATE?
ALL RIGHT.
THERE'S SOME CHAMPAGNE
IN THE ICEBOX.
WHY DON'T YOU OPEN IT
WHILE I GET DRESSED?
O.K.
I DON'T THINK I'VE
EVER DRUNK CHAMPAGNE
BEFORE BREAKFAST BEFORE.
WITH BREAKFAST
ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS,
BUT NEVER BEFORE BEFORE.
WELL, I'VE GOT
A WONDERFUL IDEA.
WE'LL SPEND THE DAY
DOING THINGS
WE'VE NEVER DONE
BEFORE.
WE'LL TAKE TURNS.
FIRST SOMETHING
YOU'VE NEVER DONE,
THEN ME.
'COURSE, I CAN'T
THINK OF ANYTHING
I'VE NEVER DONE.
WHOA!
I'VE NEVER
BEEN FOR A WALK
IN THE MORNING BEFORE.
I'VE WALKED UP
5th AVENUE AT 6:00,
BUT I CONSIDER THAT
STILL NIGHT.
DO YOU THINK
IT COUNTS?
SURE, IT COUNTS.
NOW WE'RE EVEN.
DON'T YOU
JUST LOVE IT?
LOVE WHAT?
TIFFANY'S.
ISN'T IT WONDERFUL?
SEE WHAT I MEAN,
HOW NOTHING BAD
COULD HAPPEN TO YOU
IN A PLACE LIKE THIS?
IT ISN'T THAT I GIVE
A HOOT ABOUT JEWELRY,
EXCEPT DIAMONDS,
OF COURSE.
LIKE THAT.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
WELL...
PERSONALLY, I THINK
IT WOULD BE TACKY
TO WEAR DIAMONDS
BEFORE I'M 40.
WELL, YOU'RE RIGHT,
BUT MEANTIME, YOU
SHOULD HAVE SOMETHING.
I'LL WAIT.
NO. I'M GOING TO
BUY YOU A PRESENT.
YOU BOUGHT ME
A TYPEWRITER RIBBON,
AND IT BROUGHT LUCK.
BUT TIFFANY'S CAN BE
PRETTY EXPENSIVE.
I'VE GOT MY CHECK
AND $10.
I WOULDN'T LET YOU
CASH YOUR CHECK,
BUT A PRESENT
FOR $10 OR UNDER,
THAT I'LL ACCEPT.
OF COURSE, I DON'T KNOW
WHAT WE'LL FIND HERE FOR $10.
MAY I HELP YOU?
PERHAPS.
WE'RE LOOKING
FOR A PRESENT
FOR THE LADY.
CERTAINLY, SIR.
IS THERE SOMETHING SPECIAL
YOU HAD IN MIND?
WELL, WE HAD
CONSIDERED DIAMONDS,
AND I DON'T WANT
TO OFFEND YOU,
BUT THE LADY FEELS
THAT DIAMONDS
ARE TACKY FOR HER.
OH, I THINK THEY'RE
DIVINE ON OLDER WOMEN,
BUT THEY'RE NOT RIGHT
FOR ME, YOU UNDERSTAND.
CERTAINLY.
IN FAIRNESS,
I OUGHT TO EXPLAIN
THERE'S ALSO
A SECONDARY PROBLEM,
ONE OF FINANCE.
WE CAN ONLY AFFORD
TO SPEND...
A LIMITED AMOUNT.
MAY I ASK
HOW LIMITED?
$10.
$10.
THAT WAS THE OUTSIDE
FIGURE, YES.
I SEE.
DO YOU HAVE
ANYTHING FOR $10?
FRANKLY, MADAM,
WITHIN THAT PRICE RANGE,
THE VARIETY OF MERCHANDISE
IS RATHER LIMITED.
HOWEVER, I DO THINK
WE MIGHT HAVE--
LET'S SEE...
STRICTLY AS A NOVELTY,
YOU UNDERSTAND,
FOR THE LADY AND GENTLEMAN
WHO HAS EVERYTHING,
A STERLING SILVER
TELEPHONE DIALER.
THAT'S 6.75,
INCLUDING TAX.
A STERLING SILVER
TELEPHONE DIALER.
YES, SIR. THAT'S 6.75,
INCLUDING FEDERAL TAX.
WELL, THE PRICE
IS RIGHT,
BUT I MUST SAY,
I'D RATHER
HOPED FOR SOMETHING
SLIGHTLY MORE--
HOW SHALL I SAY IT--
ROMANTIC
IN FEELING.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
A STERLING SILVER
TELEPHONE DIALER--
I CERTAINLY THINK
IT'S HANDSOME,
BUT, WELL,
YOU DO UNDERSTAND.
WELL, WE TRIED,
BUT--
WE COULD HAVE
SOMETHING ENGRAVED,
COULDN'T WE?
YES, I SUPPOSE SO.
YES, INDEED.
THE ONLY PROBLEM IS,
YOU'D HAVE TO BUY
SOMETHING FIRST
IN ORDER TO HAVE
SOME OBJECT
UPON WHICH TO
PLACE THE ENGRAVING.
YOU SEE THE DIFFICULTY?
WELL, WE COULD
HAVE THIS ENGRAVED,
COULDN'T WE?
I THINK IT WOULD
BE VERY SMART.
THIS, I TAKE IT,
WAS NOT PURCHASED
AT TIFFANY'S?
NO.
ACTUALLY,
IT WAS PURCHASED
CONCURRENT WITH--
WELL, ACTUALLY,
IT CAME INSIDE A...
WELL, A BOX
OF CRACKER JACK.
I SEE.
DO THEY STILL
REALLY HAVE PRIZES
IN CRACKER JACK BOXES?
OH, YES.
THAT'S NICE TO KNOW.
IT GIVES ONE A FEELING
OF SOLIDARITY,
ALMOST OF CONTINUITY
WITH THE PAST,
THAT SORT OF THING.
WOULD TIFFANY'S REALLY
ENGRAVE IT FOR US?
THEY WOULDN'T FEEL IT
BENEATH THEM OR ANYTHING?
WELL, IT IS RATHER
UNUSUAL, MADAM,
BUT I THINK YOU'LL FIND
THAT TIFFANY'S
IS VERY UNDERSTANDING.
IF YOU WOULD
TELL ME THE INITIALS,
I THINK WE COULD
HAVE SOMETHING READY
FOR YOU
IN THE MORNING.
DIDN'T I TELL YOU
THIS WAS A LOVELY PLACE?
WHAT IS THIS PLACE
ANYWAY?
YOU WANTED TO SIT DOWN.
IT'S THE PUBLIC LIBRARY.
YOU'VE NEVER BEEN HERE?
NO.
THAT MAKES TWO FOR ME.
I DON'T SEE ANY BOOKS.
THEY'RE IN THERE.
SEE?
MM-HMM.
EACH ONE OF
THESE DRAWERS
IS STUFFED WITH
LITTLE CARDS.
EACH LITTLE CARD IS
A BOOK OR AN AUTHOR.
I THINK
THAT'S FASCINATING.
V-A-R-J-A-K.
REALLY?
LOOK.
ISN'T IT MARVELOUS?
THERE YOU ARE, RIGHT
IN THE PUBLIC LIBRARY.
"VARJAK, PAUL.
NINE LIVES."
THEN A LOT OF NUMBERS.
DO THEY REALLY HAVE
THE BOOK ITSELF, LIVE?
SURE.
FOLLOW ME.
[DING]
NUMBER 57.
THAT'S US.
57, PLEASE.
NINE LIVES
BY VARJAK, PAUL.
SHH.
HAVE YOU READ IT?
IT'S MARVELOUS.
I'M AFRAID
I HAVEN'T.
YOU SHOULD.
HE WROTE IT.
HE'S VARJAK, PAUL,
IN PERSON.
SHE DOESN'T
BELIEVE ME.
SHOW HER YOUR
DRIVER'S LICENSE
OR DINERS CLUB CARD
OR SOMETHING.
HE'S REALLY
THE AUTHOR.
CROSS MY HEART
AND KISS MY ELBOW.
WOULD YOU KINDLY
LOWER YOUR VOICE?
AUTOGRAPH IT.
WOULDN'T THAT
BE NICE?
SORT OF MAKE IT
MORE PERSONAL?
REALLY, MISS...
GO AHEAD.
DON'T BE STUCK UP.
AUTOGRAPH IT.
WHAT SHALL I SAY?
SOMETHING SENTIMENTAL,
I THINK.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
STOP THAT.
YOU'RE DEFACING
PUBLIC PROPERTY.
WELL, IF THAT'S
HOW YOU FEEL,
COME ON, LET'S
GET OUT OF HERE.
I DON'T THINK THIS PLACE IS
HALF AS NICE AS TIFFANY'S.
DID YOU EVER
STEAL ANYTHING
FROM A 5-AND-10
WHEN YOU WERE A KID?
NO. I'M THE SENSITIVE,
BOOKISH TYPE.
DID YOU?
YES. I STILL DO
NOW AND THEN,
SORT OF
TO KEEP MY HAND IN.
COME ON.
DON'T BE CHICKEN.
YOU'VE NEVER DONE IT,
AND IT'S YOUR TURN.
[TOOT]
BOO!
RAAH!
HA HA HA HA.
HA HA HA HA.
I CAN'T SEE.
HA HA HA HA.
HA HA HA HA.
[HISS]
[MEOW]
HI, CAT.
LADY OF THE HOUSE
AT HOME?
HOLLY?
HOLLY.
TRICK OR TREAT.
YOU'RE CRAZY.
YOU KNOW THAT,
DON'T YOU?
BUT I LOVE YOU
ANYWAY.
TOOLEY.
YEAH?
I'VE...
GOT TO TALK TO YOU.
ALL RIGHT.
YOU WANT A DRINK?
UH-UH.
IF THIS IS GOING TO BE
A SERIOUS DISCUSSION,
AND SUDDENLY I'M
TERRIBLY AFRAID IT IS,
YOU'RE GOING
TO HAVE TO TAKE OFF
THAT RIDICULOUS MASK.
OR ELSE I'LL HAVE
TO WEAR ONE, TOO.
TOOLEY, LOOK, PLEASE.
WHAT'S THE MATTER?
GIRL TROUBLE?
IS THAT IT, DARLING?
OH, I SEE.
WELL, THAT'S NOT
SO SERIOUS.
AS A MATTER OF FACT,
I'VE BEEN EXPECTING IT.
I CAN'T SAY I LIKE IT,
BUT I'VE BEEN
EXPECTING IT.
WHO IS SHE?
HASN'T GOT ANYTHING
TO DO WITH HER.
THIS IS BETWEEN
YOU AND ME.
OH. THEN IT IS SERIOUS.
WELL, NOW.
TOOLEY, YOU'RE
A VERY STYLISH GIRL.
CAN'T WE END THIS
STYLISHLY?
END IT?
YES.
WELL...
I DO BELIEVE
LOVE HAS FOUND ANDY HARDY.
LET'S SEE...
A WAITRESS?
A SALESGIRL?
NO. SHE'D HAVE TO BE
SOMEONE RICH,
WOULDN'T SHE, PAUL?
SOMEONE WHO COULD HELP YOU.
CURIOUSLY ENOUGH...
SHE'S A GIRL
WHO CAN'T HELP ANYONE,
NOT EVEN HERSELF.
THE THING IS,
I CAN HELP HER,
AND IT'S A NICE FEELING
FOR A CHANGE.
ALL RIGHT.
I UNDERSTAND.
I'LL TELL YOU WHAT,
PAUL.
I AM
A VERY STYLISH GIRL.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
WRITING A CHECK.
DON'T LOOK SO BEWILDERED.
SURELY YOU'VE NOTICED ME
WRITING CHECKS BEFORE.
PAY TO THE ORDER
OF PAUL VARJAK--
$1,000.
TAKE HER AWAY SOMEWHERE
FOR A WEEK.
YOU'RE ENTITLED
TO A VACATION WITH PAY.
SIMPLY A MATTER OF FAIR
LABOR PRACTICE, DARLING.
IF YOU WERE REALLY SMART,
YOU'D GET THE BOYS TOGETHER
AND ORGANIZE A UNION.
THAT WAY YOU'D GET
ALL THE FRINGE BENEFITS--
HOSPITALIZATION,
A PENSION PLAN,
AND UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE
WHEN YOU'RE...
HOW SHALL I PUT IT?
BETWEEN ENGAGEMENTS.
THANKS FOR MAKING IT
EASIER FOR ME.
DON'T BE RIDICULOUS,
DARLING.
TAKE THE CHECK.
AND CALL YOUR GIRL.
NO, THANKS.
I'VE GOT A CHECK
OF MY OWN.
WHEN YOU GET YOURSELF
A NEW WRITER TO HELP,
TRY AND FIND ONE MY SIZE.
THAT WAY YOU WON'T HAVE
TO EVEN SHORTEN THE SLEEVES.
[RING]
[RING]
HOLLY!
HOLLY!
HOLLY!
HEY!
OH!
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
EXCUSE ME.
UH, I--I'M SORRY.
YOU LOOK JUST LIKE
A GIRL I KNOW
NAMED HOLLY.
REALLY?
I'M SORRY.
HI.
WHAT DO YOU WANT?
I WANT TO TALK TO YOU.
I'M BUSY.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
READING.
SOUTH AMERICA--
LAND OF WEALTH
AND PROMISE?
IT'S VERY
INTERESTING.
LET'S GET OUT OF HERE.
I SAID
LET'S GET OUT OF HERE.
I WANT TO TALK TO YOU.
SHH!
WHAT'S THE MATTER
WITH YOU ANYWAY?
WHAT'S HAPPENED?
FRED, WILL YOU
PLEASE JUST
LEAVE ME ALONE?
HOLLY.
I LOVE YOU.
WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
TO THE LADIES ROOM.
WHAT'S THE MATTER
WITH YOU?
LET ME GO.
NO.
FRED, LET ME GO.
LET'S GET SOMETHING
STRAIGHT.
I AM NOT NOR HAVE
I EVER BEEN FRED,
NOR AM I
BENNY SHACKLETT.
MY NAME IS PAUL--
PAUL VARJAK--
AND I LOVE YOU.
LET ME GO.
NOT
TILL WE SETTLE THIS.
WHAT'S ALL THIS JAZZ
ABOUT SOUTH AMERICA?
I THOUGHT IF I'M MARRYING
A SOUTH AMERICAN,
I'D BETTER FIND OUT
SOMETHING ABOUT THE COUNTRY.
MARRY? WHAT
SOUTH AMERICAN?
JOSE.
WHO THE HELL'S JOSE?
JOSE de SILVA PEREIRA.
WHO THE HELL'S
JOSE de SILVA PEREIRA?
DARLING, YOU MET HIM.
I KNOW YOU DID.
MAG WILDWOOD'S FRIEND.
HE CAME TO THE PARTY
WITH RUSTY.
WELL, MY DEAR,
YOU WON'T BELIEVE THIS,
BUT NOT ONLY IS HE
HANDSOME AND RICH,
HE'S ABSOLUTELY
CUCKOO FOR ME.
YOU'RE CRAZY.
DO YOU THINK
YOU OWN ME?
THAT'S EXACTLY
WHAT I THINK.
THAT'S WHAT EVERYBODY
ALWAYS THINKS,
BUT EVERYBODY
HAPPENS TO BE WRONG.
LOOK, I AM NOT
EVERYBODY.
OR AM I?
IS THAT
WHAT YOU REALLY THINK?
THAT I'M NO DIFFERENT
FROM ALL YOUR OTHER RATS
AND SUPERRATS?
WAIT A MINUTE.
IF THAT'S IT...
IF THAT'S
WHAT YOU REALLY THINK...
THERE'S SOMETHING
I WANT TO GIVE YOU.
WHAT'S THAT?
$50 FOR
THE POWDER ROOM.

THE PLACE
IS IN SUCH A MESS,
I COULDN'T
FACE IT ALONE.
AH, YOU HAVE A MESSAGE.
NO.
OLe.
[DRIPPING]
GOOD EVENING,
MR. YUNIOSHI.
OH, GOOD EVENING,
PAUL.
GOOD EVENING.
GOOD EVENING.
AAH!
[CRASH]
OH!
PLEASE,
YOU MUST HELP ME.
[MEOW]
[MEOW]
HOLLY! HOLLY!
AAH!
[MEOW]
HOLLY.
LET ME GO.
HOLLY.
HOLLY.
OH, FRED.
HOLLY.
FRED.
HOLLY.
NO, NO.
WHAT DID YOU DO
TO HER?
NOTHING. THERE
WAS A TELEGRAM,
AND THEN THIS--
CRASHING EVERYTHING
AND ACTING
LIKE A CRAZY--
IT'S APPALLING.
I CAN'T HAVE
A PUBLIC SCANDAL.
IT'S TOO DELICATE--
MY NAME, MY POSITION,
MY FAMILY.
WILL THERE BE
THE POLICE AGAIN?
I DON'T SEE WHY.
THERE'S NO LAW
AGAINST BUSTING UP
YOUR APARTMENT.
WHERE IS THE TELEGRAM?
THERE IT IS.
"RECEIVED NOTICE
YOUNG FRED KILLED..."
"IN JEEP ACCIDENT,
FORT RILEY, KANSAS."
"YOUR HUSBAND AND CHILDREN
JOIN IN THE SORROW
OF OUR MUTUAL LOSS."
"LETTER FOLLOWING.
LOVE, DOC."
HER BROTHER FRED.
OH.
THIS BROTHER,
WAS SHE VERY CLOSE TO HIM?
YEAH.
WHAT CAN ONE DO?
TRY TO HELP HER.
I TRIED.
IT DIDN'T DO MUCH GOOD.
YOU GOT A RANCH
OR SOMETHING IN BRAZIL?
YES.
THAT'S GOOD.
SHE'LL LIKE THAT.
WELL, YOU BETTER
GET IN THERE.
[SPEAKING PORTUGUESE]
[DOORBELL BUZZES]
[MEOW]
[BUZZ]
[MEOW]
HI.
HELLO.
GOT YOUR WIRE.
HOW DID YOU KNOW
WHERE TO REACH ME?
OH, I TRIED EVERYTHING--
CALLED PEOPLE,
ASKED AROUND,
AND SUDDENLY I THOUGHT
OF THE PHONE BOOK.
ANYWAY,
I'M GLAD YOU CAME.
YOU LOOK FINE.
I'M FAT AS A PIG,
AND I HAVEN'T
HAD MY HAIR DONE,
BUT I'M HAPPY,
REALLY HAPPY.
IT PROBABLY SHOWS.
YOU LOOK TReS DISTINGUE
YOURSELF.
I'VE GOT A JOB.
I'VE BEEN WRITING
A LITTLE.
I'VE READ THREE
OF YOUR STORIES--
TWO IN THE NEW YORKER
AND ONE IN THAT
FUNNY LITTLE MAGAZINE.
WON'T YOU SIT DOWN?
THANK YOU.
I'VE TAKEN UP KNITTING.
SO I SEE.
IT'LL PROBABLY LOOK,
UH...VERY NICE
ONCE IT'S FINISHED.
I'M A LITTLE
NERVOUS ABOUT IT.
JOSE BROUGHT UP
THE BLUEPRINTS
FOR A NEW RANCH HOUSE
HE'S BUILDING.
I HAVE
THIS STRANGE FEELING
THAT THE BLUEPRINTS AND
MY KNITTING INSTRUCTIONS
GOT SWITCHED.
I MAY BE KNITTING
A RANCH HOUSE.
[SPEAKING PORTUGUESE]
[RECORD STOPS]
REALLY, DARLING,
I CAN'T TELL YOU
HOW DIVINELY HAPPY
I AM.
WHAT IS THAT,
ANYHOW?
PORTUGUESE--
A VERY COMPLICATED
LANGUAGE.
4,000 IRREGULAR VERBS.
[SPEAKING PORTUGUESE]
HMM. VERY IMPRESSIVE.
WHAT'S IT MEAN?
I BELIEVE
YOU ARE IN LEAGUE
WITH THE BUTCHER.
HOLLY,
WHAT'S THIS ABOUT?
[MEOW]
WHY DID YOU
WANT TO SEE ME?
JOSE'S IN WASHINGTON
FOR THE NIGHT,
SO I THOUGHT
I'D ASK YOU OVER,
AND, WELL,
I'VE SAID GOODBYE
TO EVERYONE ELSE
I CARE ABOUT.
YOU'RE GOING SOMEWHERE?
I'M GOING TO RIO
TOMORROW.
I'VE GOT
THE PLANE TICKET,
AND I'VE EVEN SAID
GOODBYE TO SALLY.
JOSE'S FLYING DOWN
WITH YOU?
WE'RE GOING
ON SEPARATE PLANES.
HE DOESN'T THINK
IT LOOKS RIGHT
FOR US
TO TRAVEL TOGETHER.
HIS FAMILY'S IMPORTANT
DOWN THERE,
SO HE WORRIES
ABOUT THINGS LIKE THAT.
ANYWAY, I THOUGHT
I'D SHOW OFF
AND COOK DINNER FOR US.
DID I TELL YOU
HOW DIVINELY
AND UTTERLY HAPPY I AM?
YES.
YOU ARE GETTING
MARRIED, THEN?
WELL, HE HASN'T
REALLY ASKED ME,
NOT IN
SO MANY WORDS.
FOUR, YOU MEAN?
HUH?
WELL, THAT'S HOW MANY
WORDS IT TAKES--
WILL YOU MARRY ME?
[POP]
OH, WE'LL GET
MARRIED, ALL RIGHT,
AND IN CHURCH AND WITH
HIS FAMILY THERE,
AND THAT'S
WHY HE'S WAITING
TILL
WE GET TO RIO...
PROBABLY.
[POT WHISTLES]
DO YOU THINK IT'S TRYING
TO TELL US SOMETHING?
I HOPE YOU LIKE CHICKEN
AND SAFFRON RICE
SERVED WITH CHOCOLATE SAUCE.
IT'S AN EAST INDIAN
CLASSIC, MY DEAR.
THREE MONTHS AGO,
I COULDN'T SCRAMBLE EGGS.
AAH! AAH!
OH, ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
OH. OH, GOLLY, DARLING.
I DID SO WANT
TO IMPRESS YOU.
LOOK,
I'M NOT MUCH FOR
CHICKEN WITH SAUCE ANYWAY.
WHY DON'T WE
GO OUT SOMEWHERE?
LET ME BUY YOU
A FAREWELL DINNER.
OH,
THAT WOULD BE FUN,
AS LONG AS I CAN GO
LIKE THIS.
YEARS FROM NOW,
YEARS AND YEARS,
I'LL BE BACK--
ME AND MY NINE
BRAZILIAN BRATS.
THEY'LL BE DARK
LIKE JOSE, OF COURSE,
BUT THEY'LL HAVE
BRIGHT GREEN,
BEAUTIFUL EYES.
I'LL BRING THEM BACK,
ALL RIGHT,
BECAUSE
THEY MUST SEE THIS.
OH, I LOVE NEW YORK.
THEN WHY
ARE YOU LEAVING?
WHAT'S IN IT
FOR YOU ANYWAY?
LOOK, I KNOW
WHAT YOU'RE THINKING,
AND I DON'T BLAME YOU.
I'VE ALWAYS THROWN OUT
SUCH A JAZZY LINE,
BUT REALLY, EXCEPT
FOR DOC AND YOURSELF,
JOSE'S MY FIRST
NONRAT ROMANCE.
NOT THAT HE'S MY IDEA
OF THE ABSOLUTE FINITO.
HE'S TOO PRIM
AND CAUTIOUS
TO BE MY ABSOLUTE IDEAL.
NOW, IF I COULD CHOOSE
FROM ANYBODY ALIVE,
I WOULDN'T PICK JOSE.
NERO, MAYBE,
OR ALBERT SCHWEITZER...
OR LEONARD BERNSTEIN.
BUT I AM MAD ABOUT JOSE.
I HONESTLY THINK
I'D GIVE UP SMOKING
IF HE ASKED ME.
COME ON, DARLING.
LET'S EAT.
IT'S GETTING LATE.
I'M LEAVING TOMORROW,
AND I HAVEN'T
EVEN BEGUN TO PACK.
DIDN'T WANT JOSE
TO THINK
I'M A GIRL
WHO LOSES HER KEY,
SO I HAD 26 OF THEM
MADE.
WAIT. I GOT
A BETTER IDEA.
KIND OF
A FAREWELL GESTURE.
SOMEBODY MUST HAVE
TRIPPED THE LOCK.
AH, CRAFTY DEVIL,
THAT YUNIOSHI.
WAKE UP, WAKE UP!
THE BRITISH ARE COMING!
OR, IN THIS CASE,
THE BRAZILIANS.
EXACTLY.
OOH, I'VE STILL GOT
TO CLEAN UP ALL THAT RICE.
HEY, YOU KNOW--
HEY!
THERE SHE ARE WHO DID IT!
THE WANTED WOMAN! THERE!
GROENBURGER.
NARCOTICS SQUAD.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
WHAT'S GOING ON?
WHY DON'T YOU
ASK YOUR BOSS?
WHAT BOSS?
SALLY TOMATO.
ASK HIM. COME ON.
LOOK AROUND FOR NARCOTIC!
THEY GOT PLENTY NARCOTIC
IN THERE.
WHAT'S YOUR NAME?
VARJAK.
HOLD IT DOWN
OVER THERE!
PAUL VARJAK.
V-A-R-J-A-K.
AW, GET LOST!
GET OUT!
I'M A WRITER.
W-R-I-T-E-R.
[REPORTERS

I CAN'T ANSWER
ALL YOUR QUESTIONS.
ONE AT A TIME.
ONE, PLEASE.
GOOD.
[SHOUTING]
[SHOUTING]
I CAN'T ANSWER
ALL YOUR QUESTIONS.
ONE AT A TIME.
KNOCK IT OFF!
NOW, DARLING,
WHY DON'T YOU START?
DID YOU
CARRY MESSAGES
FROM TOMATO
IN CODE?
OF COURSE NOT.
I'D JUST GIVE MR. O'SHAUGHNESSY
THE WEATHER REPORT.
SIMPLY DO NOT ASK ME
WHAT THIS IS ALL ABOUT.
PARCE QUE JE NE SAIS PAS,
MES CHERS.
YOU DID
VISIT TOMATO?
EVERY WEEK.
WHAT'S WRONG WITH THAT?
TOMATO'S PART OF
THE NARCOTICS
SYNDICATE.
HE NEVER
MENTIONED NARCOTICS.
THESE WRETCHED PEOPLE
KEEP PERSECUTING HIM.
HE'S A DEEPLY
SENSITIVE PERSON,
A DARLING OLD MAN.
THEN
YOU'RE INNOCENT.
OF COURSE I'M INNOCENT.
WHAT ARE YOU GOING
TO DO ABOUT IT?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
WELL, WHO'S
YOUR LAWYER?
I DON'T KNOW.
MR. O'SHAUGHNESSY, I GUESS.
MR. O'SHAUGHNESSY!
HEY! GET OUT OF HERE!
ALL RIGHT, COME ON!
O.K., MOVE.
MR. O'SHAUGHNESSY?
AW, SHUT UP!
GET IN THERE!
[TELEPHONE RINGS]
[RING]
YEAH.
MR. PAUL VARJAK?
YEAH.
READY WITH MR. BERMAN
IN HOLLYWOOD.
KINDLY DEPOSIT $3.00
FOR THE FIRST 3 MINUTES.
[COINS JINGLE]
[BED MOTOR WHIRS]
HELLO?
HELLO?
O.J. BERMAN HERE.
WHO'S CALLING?
BBBHHAA!
MR. BERMAN,
THIS IS PAUL VARJAK.
NICE TO TALK TO YOU,
KID.
VARJAK.
V-A-R-J-A-K.
I'M A FRIEND OF HOLLY'S.
WE MET AT A PARTY
IN NEW YORK.
WHO?
PAUL.
PAUL VARJAK.
V-A-R...
MR. BERMAN,
THIS IS FRED.
OH, FRED, BABY, HUH?
YOU'RE CALLING
ABOUT THE KID, HUH?
EVERYTHING'S
UNDER CONTROL.
YOU JUST RELAX.
UHH!
I SPOKE TO MY LAWYER
IN NEW YORK.
I TOLD HIM TO TAKE CARE
OF EVERYTHING,
SEND ME THE BILL,
KEEP MY NAME
ANOMINOUS.
WHAT?
I DON'T WANT
ANY PART OF IT.
YOU SOUND LIKE
YOU'RE IN A TUNNEL.
IT'S THIS
EXECUTIVE PHONE I HAVE.
WHAT?
EXECUTIVE PHONE!
THEY ONLY GOT HER
ON 10,000 BAIL.
MY LAWYER CAN GET
HER OUT AT 10 A.M.
I TELL YOU WHAT YOU DO.
YOU BUST INTO
THAT DUMP SHE LIVES IN,
COLLECT ALL HER JUNK,
GO DOWN TO THE JAIL,
GET HER OUT,
TAKE HER TO A HOTEL
UNDER A PHONY NAME.
TRY TO KEEP HER AWAY
FROM THE REPORTERS.
WILL YOU DO THAT?
SURE, MR. BERMAN.
I CAN'T TELL YOU
HOW MUCH I APPRECIATE--
FORGET IT.
I MEAN,
I OWE HER SOMETHING.
NOT THAT
I OWE HER ANYTHING
IF YOU REALLY WANT TO
GET RIGHT DOWN TO IT,
BUT...SHE'S A CRAZY.
SHE'S A PHONY.
[BED MOTOR WHIRS]
BUT SHE'S
A REAL PHONY.
KNOW WHAT
I MEAN, KID?
YEAH,
I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN.
THANKS, MR. BERMAN.
THANKS A LOT.
RIGHT!
[CLICK]
[BED MOTOR WHIRS]
WHY DON'T YOU BEHAVE?
QUEL NIGHT.
I DID A LITTLE HOUSEBREAKING
WHILE YOU WERE AWAY.
CLAYTON HOTEL, DRIVER.
84th AND MADISON.
O.J. THINKS IT WOULD
BE A GOOD IDEA
IF YOU STAYED
OUT OF SIGHT FOR A WHILE.
I GOT YOUR STUFF HERE,
INCLUDING CAT.
HOPE HE'S ALL RIGHT.
[MEOW]
HELLO, CAT...
POOR NO-NAME SLOB.
LISTEN, DARLING,
DID YOU FIND
THAT PLANE TICKET?
RIGHT HERE.
WE CAN CASH IT IN.
CASH IT IN?
ARE YOU KIDDING?
WHAT TIME IS IT?
A LITTLE AFTER 10:00.
GOOD. IDYLWILD AIRPORT,
DRIVER.
NEVER MIND.
YOU CAN'T DO THAT.
WHY NOT?
YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.
YOU'RE UNDER INDICTMENT.
YOU JUMP BAIL,
THEY'LL THROW AWAY THE KEY.
DON'T BE RIDICULOUS,
DARLING.
THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW,
I'LL BE MARRIED TO
THE FUTURE PRESIDENT
OF BRAZIL.
THAT'LL GIVE ME
DIPLOMATIC IMMUNITY
OR SOMETHING.
HUH?
I WOULDN'T BET ON IT.
WHAT IS IT, DARLING?
I HAVE A MESSAGE FOR YOU.
OH.
OH, YES, I SEE.
DID HE BRING IT
IN PERSON, OR WAS IT...
JUST THERE,
SHOVED UNDER
THE DOOR?
A COUSIN.
HAND ME MY PURSE,
WILL YOU, DARLING?
A GIRL CAN'T READ
THAT SORT OF THING...
WITHOUT HER LIPSTICK.
YOU READ IT TO ME,
WILL YOU, DARLING?
I DON'T THINK I CAN
QUITE...BEAR...
ARE YOU SURE
YOU WANT ME TO?
MM-HMM.
O.K.
"MY DEAREST LITTLE GIRL,
"I HAVE LOVED YOU
"KNOWING YOU WERE NOT
AS OTHERS,
"BUT CONCEIVE OF
MY DESPAIR
"UPON DISCOVERING IN SUCH
A BRUTAL AND PUBLIC STYLE
"HOW VERY DIFFERENT
YOU ARE
"FROM THE MANNER

"A MAN OF MY POSITION

"I GRIEVE FOR
THE DISGRACE
"OF YOUR PRESENT

"FORGET ME,
BEAUTIFUL CHILD,
"AND MAY GOD BE WITH YOU.
JOSE."
WELL...
WELL, AT LEAST
HE'S HONEST.
IT'S KIND OF TOUCHING.
TOUCHING!
THAT SQUARE-BALL JAZZ.
HE SAYS HE'S A COWARD.
ALL RIGHT! SO HE'S
NOT A REGULAR RAT
OR EVEN A SUPERRAT.
HE'S JUST A SCARED
LITTLE MOUSE,
THAT'S ALL.
BUT, OH, GOLLY...
GEE! DAMN!
WELL, SO MUCH
FOR SOUTH AMERICA.
I REALLY DIDN'T THINK
YOU WERE CUT OUT TO BE
QUEEN OF THE PAMPAS ANYWAY.
CLAYTON HOTEL.
IDYLWILD.
WHAT?
THE PLANE LEAVES
AT 12:00,
AND ON IT
I PLAN TO BE.
HOLLY, YOU CAN'T.
NE POURQUOI PAS?
I'M NOT HOTFOOTING IT
AFTER JOSE,
IF THAT'S WHAT
YOU THINK. OH, NO.
AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED,
HE'S THE FUTURE
PRESIDENT OF NOWHERE.
ONLY WHY SHOULD I WASTE
A GOOD PLANE TICKET?
BESIDES, I'VE
NEVER BEEN TO BRAZIL.
PLEASE, DARLING,
DON'T SIT THERE
LOOKING AT ME LIKE THAT.
I'M GOING, AND THAT'S
ALL THERE IS TO IT.
ALL THEY WANT FROM ME
ARE MY SERVICES
AS A STATE'S WITNESS
AGAINST SALLY.
NOBODY HAS ANY INTENTION
OF PROSECUTING ME.
TO BEGIN WITH,
THEY DON'T HAVE
A GHOST OF A CHANCE.
THIS TOWN'S
FINISHED FOR ME...
AT LEAST FOR A WHILE.
THERE ARE CERTAIN
SHADES OF LIMELIGHT
THAT CAN WRECK
A GIRL'S COMPLEXION.
THEY'LL HAVE THE ROPE UP
AT EVERY SALOON IN TOWN.
I'LL TELL YOU WHAT
YOU DO FOR ME, DARLING.
WHEN YOU GET
BACK TO TOWN,
CALL UP
THE NEW YORK TIMES
OR WHOEVER YOU CALL.
MAIL ME A LIST OF THE 50
RICHEST MEN IN BRAZIL--
THE 50 RICHEST!
HOLLY.
I'M NOT GOING TO
LET YOU DO THIS.
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO
LET ME?
HOLLY,
I'M IN LOVE WITH YOU.
SO WHAT?
SO WHAT? SO PLENTY!
I LOVE YOU.
YOU BELONG TO ME.
NO. PEOPLE DON'T
BELONG TO PEOPLE.
OF COURSE THEY DO.
NOBODY'S GOING TO
PUT ME IN A CAGE.
I WANT TO LOVE YOU.
IT'S THE SAME THING.
NO, IT'S NOT! HOLLY!
I'M NOT HOLLY. I'M NOT
LULA MAE, EITHER.
I DON'T KNOW WHO I AM!
I'M LIKE CAT HERE,
A NO-NAME SLOB.
WE BELONG TO NOBODY, AND
NOBODY BELONGS TO US.
WE DON'T EVEN BELONG
TO EACH OTHER.
STOP THE CAB.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
THIS OUGHT TO BE
THE RIGHT PLACE
FOR A TOUGH GUY
LIKE YOU--
GARBAGE CANS,
RATS GALORE.
[MEOW]
SCRAM!
I SAID TAKE OFF!
BEAT IT!
LET'S GO.
[THUNDER]
DRIVER...
PULL OVER HERE.
YOU KNOW
WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU,
MISS WHOEVER-YOU-ARE?
YOU'RE CHICKEN.
YOU GOT NO GUTS.
YOU'RE AFRAID TO SAY,
"O.K., LIFE'S A FACT."
PEOPLE DO FALL IN LOVE.
PEOPLE DO BELONG
TO EACH OTHER,
BECAUSE THAT'S THE ONLY
CHANCE ANYBODY'S GOT
FOR REAL HAPPINESS.
YOU CALL YOURSELF
A FREE SPIRIT,
A WILD THING.
YOU'RE TERRIFIED
SOMEBODY'S GOING TO
STICK YOU IN A CAGE.
WELL, BABY, YOU'RE
ALREADY IN THAT CAGE.
YOU BUILT IT YOURSELF.
AND IT'S NOT BOUNDED
BY TULIP, TEXAS,
OR SOMALILAND.
IT'S WHEREVER YOU GO.
BECAUSE NO MATTER
WHERE YOU RUN,
YOU JUST END UP
RUNNING INTO YOURSELF.
HERE. I'VE BEEN
CARRYING THIS THING
AROUND FOR MONTHS.
I DON'T WANT IT ANYMORE.
HERE, CAT!
CAT!
WHERE'S THE CAT?
I DON'T KNOW.
